One kid’s advice to an even “kiddier” kid, “No need to feel bad unless you’re gonna feel REAL-LEEE bad.” (And quoting now from the bible of another world: “And thus the time will come when the sightless shall lead the blind, and the children direct the kids, and until then, the ole men on the bandstand will continue to play those “jazzed-up Lawrence Welk charts.”)
